Ecuador captures alleged Los Choneros leader 'Negro Félix' in Machala

Ecuadorian Armed Forces arrested Miguel Ángel Quiñónez Camacho, alias 'Negro Félix,' in Machala, seizing explosives, ammunition, and illicit substances. The arrest targets a key figure in Los Choneros, a major criminal group linked to drug trafficking and violence. This is a notable law-enforcement action but does not signal a strategic shift in the country's security situation.
